Children with ADD are often treated using conventional prescription medications such as stimulants like Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta, as well as the non-stimulant drug Strattera. While there is a place for prescription medication in certain cases of ADD, careful consideration should be given to possible side effects and cautions.

There are also alternative treatment options available for children with ADD. Making simple changes in diet, sleep, exercise and routine can help. Even trying more involved approaches like incorporating relaxation therapies such as guided imagery, meditation techniques or yoga can be beneficial.

There are also many herbal and homeopathic remedies which can help maintain harmony, health and systemic balance in the brain and nervous system, without side effects or sedation. These products are known for their supportive function in maintaining brain, nervous system and circulatory health, and wellbeing.
